		Nusrat was taken ill with kidney and liver failure on Monday, August 11 1997 in London, England while on the way to Los Angeles from Lahore to receive a kidney transplant.

		There in the shadows, rocking his girth from side to side, Khan spoke softly and without any hint of his awesome lung power, his presence largely unnoticed by passersby unaware of the qawwali master in their midst.
		Although Khan's music is based entirely on the Sufi tradition, an offshoot of Islam that emphasizes mystical and often poetic expression of the divine, he is circumspect about his personal religious affiliation.
		Khan's performances are like public prayer sessions, during which he calls to mind through qawwali singing the nature of the sacred Muslim figures.

		At the time of his death in 1997, the Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was the acknowledged master of qawwali, a classical form derived from the mystical Islamic traditions of Sufism which, although ostensibly devotional, includes elements of the ecstatic and profane: sacred love as metaphor for earthly desire.
		RAPTURE draws from recordings Nusrat made in the 1980s and '90s, and showcases the breadth and scope of this now legendary singer's repertoire,including pulsating, ancient religious chants, and beautiful ghazals, or love songs.
		Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is clearly a unique individual, capable of producing a sound unlike any other I've every heard.

		In terms of emotion, prowess and mesmeric power, there is no equal to the voice of the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the genius singer of qawwali, the devotional, ecstatic sound of Islam's Sufi mystics.

		Brook seems to have been a natural match for Nusrat and has drawn out an unusual performance that probably fulfills the ideas that were only hinted at in their first collaboration, Musst Musst.
		Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is best known for Qawwali music, the devotional music of the Sufis, taking it to incredible heights, but here we see perhaps his most successful cross-over album, with an excellent supporting cast, including Michael Brook on infinite guitar, keyboards and percussion, that gives Nusrat's music a broader feel.
		Night Song by NFAK is one of the very high quality innovations in the fields of eastern music which you don't find so often.

		I am a great fan of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan but its very sad that he is no more but he remains alive through his songs.
		Nusrat’s music was not one of those ’love at first sight’ things for me. Infact, the first time I heard this album of his, my reaction was...’geez...you got to be crazy to like this guy’s music!!’ A month or so later, and I found myself loving his songs....
		I went with my cousin to buy cassettes to music shop and then she told me that she would like to buy sangam which was new album that time.We bought few cassettes that time and then she told me to put sangam first.
